I've modified the qualifications for addiction to drugs to suit the internet:
Do you ever use alone? No! I have my internet friends. Have you ever substituted one website for another, thinking that one particular website was the problem? Yes Have you ever manipulated or lied to a Family member to obtain a connection? Maybe. Have you ever stolen Wi-Fi or stolen to obtain Internet? It was an open connection! Do you regularly use the internet when you wake up or when you go to bed? Yes. Have you ever used one site to overcome the effects of another? Yes Do you avoid people or places that do not approve of you using the internet? Yes. Luddites. Have you ever used a Website without knowing what it was or what it would do to you? My first time on 4chan. *shudder* Has your job or school performance ever suffered from the effects of your internet use? My grades did slip when I first got my own computer. Have you ever been arrested as a result of using the internet? No, but I've gotten two DMCA notifications. Have you ever lied about what or how much you use? Yes? Do you put the purchase of an internet connection ahead of your financial responsibilities? No. Have you ever tried to stop or control your using? Yes. Have you ever been in a jail, hospital, or rehabilitation center because of your using? No. Does using interfere with your sleeping or eating? I stay up a lot later than I used to. Does the thought of losing your connection terrify you? Define "Terrify" Do you feel it is impossible for you to live without the internet? No, but contemplating it is scary. Do you ever question your own sanity? Daily Is your internet use making life at home unhappy? No, it keeps me from arguing with my sister! Have you ever thought you couldn’t fit in or have a good time without the internet? No. Have you ever felt defensive, guilty, or ashamed about your using? No. Stay proud! Do you think a lot about the internet? All your base? Have you had irrational or indefinable fears? No, I am not human. Has using affected your sexual relationships? Or lack thereof. Have you ever used a website you didn’t prefer because your favorite was unavailable? Yes. Have you ever used the internet because of emotional pain or stress? Yes, I use it to talk to people. Have you ever overdosed on packets? I killed my wireless router once. :( Do you continue to use despite negative consequences? What negative consequences? Do you think you might have a drug problem? Shut up! I can quit whenever I want! |

The strange thing about those lists that it is impossible to use any type of crutch without answering yes to at least a few of those questions. It's almost as if they consider any kind of use an addiction.

I go through times when I think I'm addicted to something, but I never do anything about it. I'm pretty safe when it comes to using anything, but sometimes it feels like too much so I have to catch myself and see what's actually going on. That's been happening a lot more lately because it's summer and I've got nothing to do all day but put things in my body that make me think differently. All in all, though, the only things that really hurt you are the things you can't control.
